With light-colored finishes, the interior will turn out to be airy and spacious. A pure white tone for wall decoration is not the best option, the furniture will merge, it is better to choose pastel colors.
What color of curtains to choose
Curtains can match the color or pattern of other furnishings. For example, have a common pattern with an upholstered sofa or decorative pillows. A transparent white veil complemented by thick curtains would be a win-win option.
The color of the curtains will create a mood in the house, the shade should be in harmony with the general palette.
